Mount: E-mount lens (compatible with full-frame mirrorless cameras). Focal length: 85mm. Maximum aperture: f/1.4. Filter diameter: 77mm / [SEL85F14GM2]SEL85F14GM2 Released September 2024
Delivers high resolution and natural bokeh at an even higher level, while also achieving significantly improved AF performance and a smaller, lighter size. The second-generation F1.4 mid-telephoto prime lens G Master takes portrait photography to the next level. Sony's cutting-edge technology is generously incorporated into the FE 85mm F1.4 GM (SEL85F14GM), a portrait lens long acclaimed by creators worldwide, elevating it to even greater heights. Despite its large f/1.4 maximum aperture, it delivers an even higher level of both extremely high resolution and natural bokeh. Furthermore, in addition to significantly improved AF performance that maximizes the body's high-speed performance, the camera is also compact and lightweight. Combining mobility and expressive power, this is an overwhelmingly evolved G Master camera that invites creators to take portrait photography to new heights.
The more refined G Master boasts both the high resolution and natural bokeh that only a more refined camera can deliver. Even sharper resolution performance: By effectively positioning elements, including two XA (extreme aspherical) lenses and two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements, chromatic aberration and other aberrations are reduced, achieving high resolution performance from the center to the periphery. Nano AR Coating II also suppresses ghosting and flare, delivering clear, crisp image quality.
Soft, melting bokeh, with a smoother transition from the sharp focal plane: The latest optical technology reduces chromatic aberration and other aberrations, enabling even smoother, more natural bokeh than previous models. In addition, two XA lenses not only accurately correct spherical aberration but also prevent concentric rings from appearing in the blurred image, achieving high resolution and natural, natural bokeh.
Elevated expressive power in a compact body. Approximately 20% lighter than the previous model, it weighs approximately 642g, approximately 178g lighter than the previous model (approximately 20% lighter). Furthermore, the volume has been reduced by approximately 13%, significantly improving portability.
Advanced AF performance maximizes the body's high-speed performance. Equipped with two XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors optimized for this lens, it achieves AF speeds up to approximately 3x faster than previous models. Moving subject tracking performance has also been improved up to approximately 7x faster than previous models. Capture decisive moments, even with the shallow depth of field of the maximum aperture of f/1.4. It also supports the α9 III's high-speed continuous shooting with AF/AE tracking at up to approximately 120 frames per second. Vibration and operating noise during focusing have also been significantly reduced.
Video Performance Meets the Needs of Video Creators: Despite the shallow depth of field of the maximum aperture of f/1.4, real-time tracking enables fast, precise, accurate, and quiet focusing. It also suppresses fluctuations in the angle of view while focusing and is compatible with the α series camera's breathing compensation function. The aperture ring can be switched between click on and off, allowing for highly immediate aperture adjustment. The Linear Response MF feature allows for precise focusing in manual focus mode, allowing for even higher-quality video expression.
Excellent Operability and Reliability in Any Environment: With two assignable focus hold buttons, a focus mode switch, aperture ring, and high-performance Linear Response MF, you can capture images that meet the creative artist's sensibilities. Intuitive operation is possible with your fingertips, whether shooting stills or videos. It also boasts high reliability, able to withstand outdoor shooting.
Reliability for shooting in a variety of environments [Dust- and splash-proof design*] The camera features a dust- and splash-proof design*. This ensures reliability even when shooting outdoors. *Although the design is dust- and splash-proof, it does not completely prevent dust and water from entering. [Fluorine coating] The fluorine coating applied to the front lens element makes it difficult for fingerprints, dust, water, oil, and mud to adhere to the lens surface, and even if they do adhere, they can be easily removed.
